🚨‼️Code red, code red, CODE RED ‼️🚨

We are at MAX capacity and desperately trying to make space. Between the owner surrenders, strays, and animal control seizure cases, all of our runs have been taken up. We work relentlessly to find safe places for our sweet dogs to go but we can’t do it alone. We need the help of our community. If you’re looking to adopt, please come visit us! We’ve got a little bit of everything.

If you can’t adopt at this time, here are some other ways you can help us and overcrowded shelter’s everywhere who, just like us, are taking in more dogs than they can get adopted out.

1. SPAY/NEUTER your current pets. Millions of dogs are surrendered to shelters all across the US due to dogs having accidental litters.

2. Make sure your pets wear some kind of identification in case they get lost. Better yet, have them microchipped and if they are already, please ensure information is up to date! We get countless of strays who unfortunately are never able to find their way back home because we have no idea who the owners are.

3. SPONSOR an adoption fee or the cost of a spay/neuter.

4. Like, comment, SHARE

We are working on adding brief descriptions to each dog’s photo. If you have any questions on any of them, please contact us or come visit us Tuesday-Saturday 12:30-4:30pm.

Day 7 of posting Jambalaya every single day until she gets adopted!

We’ve had a whole week of Jambalaya posts and this girl is still waiting for her forever home. Everyone that meets her points out how friendly and affectionate she is. When she walks into a room, she HAS to say hey to everyone. She’ll go around for hugs and kisses. She is pictured here getting some loving from one of our awesome volunteers.

If you’re interested in meeting Jambalaya, please come anytime during open hours! Tuesday-Saturday 12:30-4:30pm. To fill out an adoption application, simply stop by our shelter or click on the link in our bio to do so online.

Day 5 of posting Jambalaya every single day until she gets adopted!!

Jambalaya has grown so much since she first came to us. For the first few days she was with us, she stayed curled up in a ball and was very untrusting. As the days went on, she started to open up more and more. She went from being totally terrified and shying away from everyone ➡️ to begging for anyone and everyone’s attention. She is FULL of personality, and is bound to keep you laughing at her shenanigans.

Please come by and meet this sweet girl, and let her win you over. We are open 12:30-4:30pm, Tuesday-Saturday. Jambalaya can be a bit selective when it comes to new furry friends. If you have other dogs, we highly encourage to bring your dog in for a meet and greet!
